[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The percentage of kids below/at grade level really is not a function of how effective the school is.  SO many students arrive at middle school incredibly far behind where they should be.  This is a function of so many factors, including quality of elementary school education, pandemic, socioeconomic status, etc. While there is still a lot of progress to be made, the school was recognized earlier this school year for math and reading growth that exceeds other middle schools.[/quote]

This. Middle school PARCC scores are just not a very informative metric. A middle school only has three years with each kid, best case scenario, to make up for them being many years behind when they come in. Look to growth metrics and other quality indicators such as retention and published student work.[/quote]

PARCC scores are, however, the only proxy for determining whether or not the school will have a cohort of students working at or above grade level.

A school's success in bringing students from 1s to 2s doesn't really indicate anything for prospective students who are currently scoring 4s and 5s.[/quote]
